I have a unicorn, 2016 Model S P100D refresh with AP3 and MCU upgraded, new cameras running FSD latest build. Unlimited free supercharging, cooled seats, and a sunroof. Never selling.

I have a 2017 MS 75 RWD, MCU2, FSD, CCS enabled, free supercharging, free premium connectivity, 76k miles, and mostly charged at home. Best car I've ever owned, solid as a rock, no creaks or rattles. Range has only dropped 6 miles. Thx for posting this.

Just picked up a November 2016 Model S refresh. It has 166, 000 miles, sunroof, leather 90D. Cost? $15, 500 less $4000.00 federal tax credit. Final cost $11, 500. Car runs and drives like new. Getting rid of my 2019 M3P. Fantastic car!!

You are absolutely right! Love to hear someone actually sharing my exact opinion. I test drove the 2023 Model S 5 times and just could not fall in love with them. They are making loud road noise, the horizontal display is showing everything too small and the car is rattling. The LR version has louder motor whining noise than the Plaid. I have that Holy Grail version of 12/2016 Model With everything on it, Recaro seats, Sunroof, FreeSuC, AP3, MCU2 and CCS in solid white. Feels so much more premium, very silent with NO road noise. Still loving it after 170k miles.

I also have a 2017 S 100D. Currently 162, 000 miles. It has no creaks or rattles either. Great car, and free supercharging.

I own a Tesla Model S Performance w/ Ludicrous+ and fully optioned out. Rarely drove it during past year and now daily driving it and wow. What a machine.

I'm driving a Model S 75D from 2017 which I gave the MCU2-upgrade and AP3-hardware. The battery has around 14-15% of degradation at 150.000miles. I just love the car, it drives great!

Last November I bought a 2019 Raven Model X with 30K miles from Tesla which came with FSD. Worth getting that year for 1 pedal driving and HW3. I really like the vertical screen as it is more recessed and having a round wheel and stalks. Love the car.

[SM-rnxy]

I remember this car from the first video where you picked it up, it was about the time I got my Model 3 and it taught me the Kyle Conner road tripping style - run it low then charge until it tapers. Great advice that has served me well.

[benjochs]

Thanks for making me feel even better about my new purchase! 2017 with only 52k miles.

What I really like about this generation Tesla Model S is a sunroof that opens. On a beautiful day, such a nice feeling to have a large sunroof that opens.

[macronato]

I have a 2014 P85D, and it has been a little bit of an adventure — many of the front suspension parts wore out (struts, 1/2 shafts, and more), and I did the MCU2 upgrade, but I must say… the Recaro seats really are fantastic, the sunroof is lovely, and the whole experience does feel like a $120k car, rather than a $60k one. Whew! I’m not sure if I’ll trade it soon, but what a cool product. Perhaps a Lucid is next? 😮😊❤

I have an early 2016 85D, currently covered just shy of 240, 000 miles. All original main components. No rattles, great to drive. It has the CCS upgrade (previous owner) and I've just fitted the MCU2 and screens upgrade. Not the fastest to charge but pretty efficient. I've been very happy with it so far.

I have the same year model S with the same cross climate tires. Yes, range takes a hit but I like how good the traction is. I prefer good traction over some loss of range. And since I have free supercharging, I care less about the reduction of range.

I have 95k miles on mine with about 7% degradation.

Have sun roof silver. FSD for 5k and ventilated same seats. Leather. MCU2 upgraded. Upgraded cameras. Got it with all the upgrades (except for 3rd row seats).

Still get about 140kw. Had it all over the US and Canada. Great road trip car. Yes charging isn’t as quick but the new cars charge too quick for me. I prefer to take a lunch break when stopping.

Love it.

This video is partially responsible for me buying this exact model with 80K miles last week. This is my first EV. I've owned several sports cars, from Mustangs go Porsches. This thing is on a whole different level, by far.

I just got a 2016 S P90D L+, with 120k miles (30 days ago) and it drives like a dream! Only finance 21k, price was 24K. Beside the doors handle malfunction, everything else pretty much perfect! Aligned it myself really quickly with 2 wrenches and a bit of patience. Saved $200 bucks!😂.
Last night, I changed the battery setting to "Ideal" come to find out, my range is 296 miles to 100% and I am getting pretty much a mile per mile drive when driving at speed limit! Pretty impressive because I was getting also a mile per mile driven with default setting but my range was only 236 miles!! After 8 years old to be able to say I can almost get 300 miles range, (When driven decently) is more than impressive!!
Not to mentioned, 110 degree weather!!

[JoshHeffner]

This era of Model S was truly the peak in quality. The Ravens might be the absolute best. You can snag a 16-18 refresh Ludicrous S for less than half the price of a new one. A much better value IMO. There are a few common issues like the MCU upgrade and air suspension, but nothing that I would consider a dealbreaker.

The max charge speed on the pre-Raven models is around 155kW, so that is the biggest pain point if you're a big road tripper. The 100 pack is still much better than the 85/90 when it comes to degradation.

[stephenstill]

I have a 2018 Tesla S with 130, 000 miles. All has been great. The only unexpected maintenance is broken door handle retractor motor (ice storm in Buffalo). I've lost about 10% battery capacity -- but seems normal for the miles. Free supercharging for life is sweet.

[kevin]

Cool to see you revisit this car. The road trip in this car you did was my first video of yours and in essence got me to buy my 2016 MS 75 (only though). And 101, 000 miles later in 2 years it’s been great. Best upgrade was MCU2.

[torocars]

Look for owners with upper end 200, 000 miles. Interested to hear ownership experience of tsla early adopter owners. Great data on video nonetheless.
